Q: Passenger side electric window intermittently will not go down
Passenger side electric window intermittently will not go down. When it fails, it sometimes makes the fan blower shut down as well. I replaced the driver side window switches hoping it was an issue there, but it still happens on occasion. Any thoughts as to where I can go next to find the problem?
My car has 310000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
